Series Included
The original SRW featured Mazinger Z, Getter Robo and the earliest incarnations of Mobile Suit Gundam. This began a form of tradition wherein a Mazinger, a Getter and a Universal Century Gundam series would always appear in some capacity, forming what fans call the "Holy Trinity"; however, newer handheld titles began omitting one or more of these series in favor of increased focus on newer properties. In later incarnations, Banpresto has expanded their original horizons, including Manga like Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam in Alpha 2, video games (like Virtual On in Alpha 3), and cancelled series (like Kanzen Shouri Daiteioh in NEO). In Super Robot Wars J, Banpresto included Tekkaman Blade, a series which contains armored warriors but no mecha; this would later be followed by Detonator Orgun in SRW W and Fight! Iczer One and Iczer Reborn (which have mecha but also see their protagonists fight on foot) in SRW L.

Famous quotes containing the words series and/or included:
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“Under the one word “house” are included the schoolhouse, the almshouse, the jail, the tavern, the dwellinghouse; and the meanest shed or cave in which men live contains elements of all these. But nowhere on the earth stands the entire and perfect house.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
